We report the first measurements of absolute branching fractions for the $W$-exchange-only processes $Lambda^+_ctoXi^0K^+$ and $Lambda^+_ctoXi(1530)^0K^+$ with the double-tag technique, by analyzing an $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data sample, that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 4.6 GeV by the BESIII detector. The branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(Lambda^+_ctoXi^0K^+)=(5.90pm0.86pm0.39)times10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}(Lambda^+_ctoXi(1530)^0K^+)=(5.02pm0.99pm0.31)times10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Our results are more precise than the previous relative measurements.
Using $567rm{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions recorded at $sqrt{s}=4.599rm{GeV}$ with the BESIII detector, we report first measurements of absolute hadronic branching fractions of Cabibbo-favored decays of the $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ baryon with a double-tag technique. A global least-square fitter is utilized to improve the measured precision. Among the measurements for twelve $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ decay modes, the branching fraction for $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow pK^-pi^+$ is determined to be $(5.84pm0.27pm0.23)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, the measurements of the branching fractions of the other eleven Cabbibo-favored hadronic decay modes are significantly improved.
Using $(448.1pm2.9)times 10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector and a single-baryon tagging technique, we present the first observation of the decays $psi(3686)toXi(1530)^{0}bar{Xi}(1530)^{0}$ and $Xi(1530)^{0}bar{Xi}^0$. The branching fractions are measured to be ${cal{B}}(psi(3686)toXi(1530)^{0}bar{Xi}(1530)^{0}) = (6.77pm0.14pm0.39)times10^{-5}$ and ${cal{B}}(psi(3686)toXi(1530)^{0}bar{Xi}^{0}) = (0.53pm0.04pm0.03)times10^{-5}$. Here, the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. In addition, the parameter associated with the angular distribution for the decay $psi(3686)toXi(1530)^{0}bar{Xi}(1530)^0$ is determined to be $alpha = 0.32pm0.19pm0.07$, in agreement with theoretical predictions within one standard deviation.
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of $Xi_c^0$ decays into $Xi^- pi^+$, $Lambda K^- pi^+$, and $p K^- K^- pi^+$ final states. The measurements are made using a data set comprising $(772pm 11)times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for $B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0$ using a missing-mass technique; the result is ${cal B}(B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0) = (9.51 pm 2.10 pm 0.88) times 10^{-4}$. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions ${cal B}(B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0){cal B}(Xi_c^0 to Xi^- pi^+)$, ${cal B}( B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0) {cal B}(Xi_c^0 to Lambda K^- pi^+)$, and ${cal B}( B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0) {cal B}(Xi_c^0 to p K^- K^- pi^+)$ with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for $B^- to bar{Lambda}_c^- Xi_c^0$ yields the following branching fractions: ${cal B}(Xi_c^0 to Xi^- pi^+)= (1.80 pm 0.50 pm 0.14)%$, ${cal B}(Xi_c^0 to Lambda K^- pi^+)=(1.17 pm 0.37 pm 0.09)%$, and ${cal B}(Xi_c^0 to p K^- K^- pi^+)=(0.58 pm 0.23 pm 0.05)%.$ For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for ${cal B}(Xi_c^0 to Xi^- pi^+)$ can be combined with $Xi_c^0$ branching fractions measured relative to $Xi_c^0 to Xi^- pi^+$ to yield other absolute $Xi_c^0$ branching fractions.
The first measurements of the coherence factor R_{K_S^0Kpi} and the average strong--phase difference delta^{K_S^0Kpi} in D^0 to K_S^0 K^mppi^pm decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the unitary triangle angle gamma in B^- rightarrow $widetilde{D}K^-$ decays, where $widetilde{D}$ is either a D^0 or a D^0-bar meson decaying to the same final state, and also in studies of charm mixing. The measurements of the coherence factor and strong-phase difference are made using quantum-correlated, fully-reconstructed D^0D^0-bar pairs produced in e^+e^- collisions at the psi(3770) resonance. The measured values are R_{K_S^0Kpi} = 0.70 pm 0.08 and delta^{K_S^0Kpi} = (0.1 pm 15.7)$^circ$ for an unrestricted kinematic region and R_{K*K} = 0.94 pm 0.12 and delta^{K*K} = (-16.6 pm 18.4)$^circ$ for a region where the combined K_S^0 pi^pm invariant mass is within 100 MeV/c^2 of the K^{*}(892)^pm mass. These results indicate a significant level of coherence in the decay. In addition, isobar models are presented for the two decays, which show the dominance of the K^*(892)^pm resonance. The branching ratio {B}(D^0 rightarrow K_S^0K^+pi^-)/{B}(D^0 rightarrow K_S^0K^-pi^+) is determined to be 0.592 pm 0.044 (stat.) pm 0.018 (syst.), which is more precise than previous measurements.
Using a data sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data with an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ taken at the center-of-mass energy $sqrt s= 3.773$~GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage rings, we measure the absolute branching fractions of the two-body hadronic decays $D^+to pi^+pi^0$, $K^+ pi^0$, $pi^+ eta$, $K^+eta$, $pi^+eta^prime$, $K^+eta^prime$, $K_S^0 pi^+$, $K_S^0 K^+$, and $D^0to pi^+ pi^-$, $K^+ K^-$, $K^mp pi^pm$, $K_S^0 pi^0$, $K_S^0 eta$, $K_S^0 eta^prime$. Our results are consistent with previous measurements within uncertainties. Among them, the branching fractions for $D^+topi^+pi^0$, $K^+pi^0$, $pi^+eta$, $pi^+eta^prime$, $K_S^0 pi^+$, $K_S^0 K^+$ and $D^0 to K_S^0 pi^0$, $K_S^0 eta$, $K_S^0 eta^prime$ are determined with improved precision compared to the world average values.
